Directions

1.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix together the rice, cream, milk, sugar and salt. Cut the vanilla pod in half and use a knife to scrape out the seeds, then add these to the rice mixture. (If you like, put the vanilla pod in as well to add a little more flavour.) Pour the mixture into a 10-12 inch diameter ovenproof dish and bake for 2 hours.

2.

Meanwhile, make the syrup. Heat all of the ingredients in a small saucepan set over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook until the cherries have absorbed all of the liquid, stirring occasionally.

3.

Leave the rice pudding to cool a little, then serve warm or cold with the cherry and rum syrup.
